This paper exhibits the design and implementation of a compact dual-band bandpass filter on paper substrate. The proposed filter which works on the principle of signal interference technique has a parallel combination of short-circuited coupled line and an H-shaped network of transmission lines with open stubs. Due to the superposition of signals of the two transmission paths, a second order dual-band bandpass response with four transmission zeroes is achieved. To validate the proposed design, theoretical analysis using the lossless transmission line model is carried out and acknowledged. The developed dual-band filter prototype with center frequencies 1.17 GHz and 4.06 GHz has 3-dB fractional bandwidths of 82.56% (0.69–1.656 GHz) and 20.59% (3.645–4.481 GHz), respectively. The simulated and experimental results are in good congruence with each other. The proposed dual-band bandpass filter can be used in various wireless applications, for example, Global System for Mobile Communications (880–915 MHz), Aircraft surveillance (960–1215 MHz), Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (1.164–1.188 GHz), Amateur radio (1.24–1.30 GHz), Global Positioning System (1.559–1.61 GHz), Satellite phones (1.616–1.626 GHz), and Satellite communication (3.7–4.2 GHz).
